Summary
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI), in conjunction with the Public Analyst’s
Laboratory Service, has carried out a surveillance study on foodstuffs available on the
Irish market and containing certain artificial colours and sweeteners. The purpose of this
study was to establish levels of compliance with existing legislation on maximum levels
in food and on the requirement to declare the presence of these food additives on the
label of the foodstuff.
The artificial colours Tartrazine (E102), Quinoline Yellow (E104), Sunset Yellow (E110),
Azorubine (E122), Amaranth (E123), Ponceau 4R (E124), Erythrosine (E127), Red 2G
(E128), Allura Red (E129), Patent Blue V (E131), Indigo Carmine (E132), Brilliant Blue
FCF (E133) and Green S (E142) were analysed in a total of 363 foodstuffs,
predominantly soft drinks, flavoured ices, processed food products, jellies and
confectionery, in which the use of artificial colours is permitted under the relevant
legislation. The sweeteners Acesulfame K, Aspartame, Saccharin and Sucralose were
analysed in a total of 417 foodstuffs, mainly comprising energy-reduced soft drinks,
energy drinks, yoghurts, jellies, confectionery, breakfast bars and some other processed
foodstuffs.
The results obtained for the artificial colours showed a relatively high number of noncompliant products, with 31 out of the 363 foodstuffs examined in the study (8.5%)
being judged to be non-compliant with the legislation. Twelve of these samples related
to breaches of the legislation on maximum levels for colours in foodstuffs, the noncompliance relating to levels of the colours Sunset Yellow or Azorubine/Carmoisine. A
further 19 samples were found to contain artificial colours that were not declared in the
list of ingredients on the label, as required under the legislation.
The FSAI notes with concern that these non-compliant samples were predominantly
products consumed by young children, namely confectionery, flavoured ices and
dessert jelly. The FSAI notes however, that manufacturers have responded to the
public concern about the use of artificial colours in foodstuffs, particularly those intended
for consumption by young children, by phasing them out of particular foodstuffs since
this study was undertaken. This has been achieved by replacement with alternative
natural colours and/or reducing the colour intensity of the products. The FSAI considers,
therefore, that exposure of Irish children to these artificial colours has decreased since
this study was undertaken.
The results obtained for artificial sweeteners showed proportionately a lower number of
non-compliant products, with 13 out of the 417 foodstuffs examined in the study (3.2%)
being judged to be non-compliant with the legislation. These non-compliant samples
were almost equally divided between samples that contained in excess of the permitted
levels of sweetener and non-compliance with the requirement to declare the name
and/or E number of the sweetener in the ingredients listed on the label.
The FSAI does not consider that any of the products deemed to be non-compliant with
the requirements of the legislation presented any risk to the health of consumers,
including young children. However, the FSAI considers that further monitoring of
3
artificial colours and sweeteners in products on the Irish market, via studies such as the
one reported here, is essential. The FSAI wishes to remind manufacturers of their duty
to ensure that all food additives present in a product are labelled, in compliance with the
legal requirements and to ensure that consumers can make an informed choice if they
wish to avoid such additives.
In light of these results the FSAI reiterates its advice to parents of children in Ireland
who could display symptoms of hyperactivity or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder
(ADHD), that they should consider limiting their children’s consumption of food products
containing artificial food colours. Parents should read food labels carefully when buying
products so that they can identify if they contain these colours.

Introduction
The Food Safety Authority of Ireland (FSAI) has a statutory responsibility to ensure the
safety of food consumed, distributed, produced and sold on the Irish market. In order to
achieve this aim, the FSAI, among its activities, coordinates the collation of food safety
surveillance information from laboratories run by its official agents, the Health Service
Executive, the Department of Agriculture, Fisheries and Food, the Sea Fisheries
Protection Authority, the Marine Institute and the local authorities. The FSAI also
conducts targeted food safety surveillance in areas where potential safety issues have
been identified. This report provides the results of a targeted surveillance study on
levels of artificial colours and sweeteners in foods available on the Irish market.
2.
Background
Artificial (synthetic) colours and sweeteners fall into the category of food chemicals
known as food additives, substances which are intentionally added to foodstuffs to
perform certain technological functions. Artificial colours are used to impart colour to a
foodstuff or to enhance the natural colour, while intense sweeteners are used to replace
sugar in a wide range of sugar-free and reduced calorie products.
The use of food additives including colours and sweeteners in foodstuffs is regulated by
European legislation1 and only authorised additives may be used in food specified in the
legislation. Authorisation in this context means that the additive is included in a
“positive” list as laid down in the legislation. The legislation also contains the names of
the authorised colours or sweeteners, the maximum levels permitted and the foods in
which they are permitted to be used. Prior to their authorisation, food additives are
evaluated for their safety by the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) a task
previously carried out by the Scientific Committee for Food (SCF). If an additive is
deemed acceptable for food use, an Acceptable Daily Intake (ADI) is normally set. The
ADI is defined as “an estimate of the amount of a food additive, expressed on a body
weight basis that can be ingested daily over a lifetime without appreciable health
effects”. In addition to a thorough safety evaluation and a demonstrated technical need
or purpose, all additives used in foods must be declared in the list of ingredients in
accordance with Council Directive 2000/13/EC (9). The labelling must include the
1
The relevant legislation is Directive 94/36/EC on colours for use in foodstuffs (1), Directive 94/35/EC on sweeteners for use in
foodstuffs (2) and the Framework Directive on Food Additives, 89/107/EC (3). These Directives are implemented in Ireland by S.I.
No. 437 of 2000. Directive 94/35/EC has been amended by Directive 2003/115/EC (4), which is implemented in Ireland by S.I. No.
61 of 2005.
The EC legislation on food additives has recently been revised, the new legislation consisting of the following: (i) Regulation (EC) No
1331/2008 (5) of the European Parliament and of the Council of 16th December 2008, establishing a common authorisation
procedure for food additives, food enzymes and food flavourings, (ii) Regulation (EC) No 1332/2008 (6) on food enzymes, (iii)
Regulation (EC) No 1333/2008 (7) on food additives and (iv) Regulation (EC) No 1334/2008 (8) on flavourings and certain food
ingredients with flavouring properties for use in and on foods. The new Regulations include a 24-month transitional period from the
date of publication in the Official Journal on 16th December 2008, to enable industry to implement the requirements of the legislation.
Thus the requirements of the new legislation will in the main not become applicable until 2010. Until that time, the requirements of
the existing legislation apply, although an exception to this is the provision for labelling warnings on labels of foodstuffs that contain
certain colours which may be linked to increased hyperactivity in some children. This requirement must be implemented within 18
months of publication of the EC Regulations.

purpose of the additive as well as the name of the additive and/or its assigned E
number, e.g. Colour: Allura Red AC, E129.
The legislation also requires that food additives must be kept under continuous
surveillance and must be re-evaluated whenever necessary in the light of changing
conditions of use and new scientific information. The safety of some artificial colours
and sweeteners has been queried in recent years, and the EFSA is currently involved in
a re-evaluation of all authorised food colours, to review their safety in the light of any
scientific information that has become available since the previous evaluation. When
this evaluation programme has been completed, EFSA will undertake a similar exercise
on the currently authorised sweeteners.
Surveillance programmes carried out in many of the European Member States including
Ireland involve the monitoring of foodstuffs to determine the usage levels of colours,
sweeteners and other additives, to ensure that the maximum permitted level is not
exceeded and also to identify unauthorised use in foodstuffs. It is also possible to
estimate the intake of a particular food additive by combining usage levels with food
data and to compare this with the ADI that has been established for the additive.
The FSAI has therefore carried out the current surveillance study in order to establish
the compliance of foodstuffs, available on the Irish market and containing artificial
colours and sweeteners, with the existing legislation on maximum permitted levels of
these additives. In the case of the artificial colours, particular attention was paid to
confectionery, beverages and other products likely to be consumed by children.
This report focuses on the compliance of products containing artificial colours and
sweeteners available on the Irish market with the existing legislation on maximum
permitted levels of these additives. It has not considered the intakes of these food
additives from the diet, in order to compare these with the relevant ADIs. The data
generated on the artificial colours for this report have however, been provided to the
EFSA for such considerations at a European level, as part of the ongoing re-evaluation
of all authorised food colours mentioned above.

3.1
Study on colours
A total of 363 samples were collected at retail level by officers of the FSAI over the
period March 2005 to May 2006, for analysis of colours by either the Dublin Public
Analyst’s Laboratory (DPAL) or the Cork Public Analyst’s Laboratory (CPAL). The
samples mainly comprised soft drinks, flavoured ices, processed food products, jellies
and confectionery, in which the use of artificial colours is permitted under the relevant
legislation. The colours analysed in the samples are shown in Table 1.

analysis of Amaranth, Erythrosine and Indigo Carmine (E123, E127 and E132) was
limited to a smaller number of foodstuffs in which their use is permitted.
Legal requirements
As indicated in the Introduction to this report, at the time of this survey the use of
colours in foodstuffs was regulated by Directive 94/36/EC (1) which provides a list of
authorised colours, the foods in which they are permitted to be used and the maximum
levels permitted. In relation to the foodstuffs analysed in this survey, the Directive
specifies that the following colours may be used singly or in combination in a specified
range of foods including those shown in Table 2, up to the maximum level specified in
the Table: Curcumin (E100), Tartrazine (E102), Quinoline Yellow (E104), Sunset Yellow
(E 110), Cochineal (Carminic acid, carmines, E120), Azorubine/Carmosine (E122),

Lycopene (E160d), beta-apo-8’-carotenal (E160c), Ethyl ester of beta-apo-8’-carotenal
(E160f) and Lutein (E161b). However, for non-alcoholic flavoured drinks, edible ices,
desserts, fine bakery wares and confectionery, colours may be used up to the limit
indicated but the quantities of each of the colours Sunset Yellow (E 110),
Azorubine/Carmosine (E122), Ponceau 4R (E124) and Brown HT (E155) may not
exceed 50 mg/kg or 50 mg/L.

It should be noted that Table 2 only presents information on those categories of
foodstuffs analysed in this survey, together with the maximum levels of the colours
permitted. The Directive 94/36/EC (1) should be consulted for other categories of
foodstuffs and the general provisions related to use of colours in those foodstuffs.
Cochineal (Carminic acid, carmines, E120), Brilliant Black BN (E151), Brown HT (E155),
Lycopene (E160d), beta-apo-8’-carotenal (E160c), Ethyl ester of beta-apo-8’-carotenal
(E160f) and Lutein (E161b) were not analysed in this study, since specific accredited
methods were not available in the laboratories for these colours.
A further legal requirement applicable to colours used in foodstuffs, as for all food
additives, is that they must be declared on the list of ingredients in accordance with
Council Directive 2000/13/EC (9) relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising
of foodstuffs. The labelling must include the purpose of the additive as well as the name
of the additive and/or its assigned E number e.g. Colour: Allura Red AC, E129.
The results of this study are reported below in relation to compliance with the maximum
levels of colours permitted in the categories of foodstuffs surveyed, and also in relation
to compliance with the requirements for the declaration of these ingredients on the label.

Methodology and reporting limits
Beverages
Water-based beverages were filtered and analysed directly by reversed phase gradient
high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with photo diode array (PDA)
detection. Carbonated beverages were degassed by ultrasonication prior to analysis.
Solid foodstuffs
The homogenised samples were extracted using an ammonia-methanol mixture
following grinding or homogenisation to facilitate extraction. The sample extracts were
analysed for the specified artificial colours by reversed phase gradient high performance
liquid chromatography (HPLC) with photo diode array (PDA) detection. Ready to eat
foods (sweets, edible ices, jam etc) were tested as supplied. In the case of dessert jelly,
it was prepared according to the instructions for use prior to testing as the maximum
levels indicated in Directive 94/36/EC on colours for use in foodstuffs relate to ready-toeat foodstuffs prepared according to the instructions for use. Therefore, in all cases the
results were provided as mg/kg of the ready-to-eat product.
The limit of quantitation (LOQ) for the colours in beverages for both laboratories was
generally 1 mg/L, while for processed/solid food products the LOQ was generally 5
mg/kg for the CPAL and 2 mg/kg for the DPAL, unless shown otherwise in Table A
(Results). Results were corrected by the DPAL for recovery as appropriate but were
reported uncorrected for recovery by the CPAL.
Results
The complete results of the survey of colours in foodstuffs are provided in Table A of the
Appendix to this report. Out of the total of 363 foodstuffs examined in this study, 31
were found to be non-compliant with the relevant legislation on maximum levels of
colours in foodstuffs and/or on declaration of the colour on the label of the foodstuff,
representing 8.5% of the samples taken. Twelve samples were judged to be noncompliant with the legislation on maximum levels for colours in foodstuffs, as shown in
Table 3, the non-compliance relating to levels of Sunset Yellow or
Azorubine/Carmoisine found in the product. All other foodstuff/colour combinations
analysed were found to be in compliance with the legislation on maximum levels.
Results for Amaranth and Erythrosine (analysed only by the CPAL) were all below the
limit of detection and have not been included in Table A.

Follow-up action
The samples in this study were taken as non-statutory surveillance samples, thus no
enforcement action was taken. Letters were however sent to the manufacturers of the
products, drawing their attention to the non-compliances and asking them to investigate
the reasons. In a limited number of cases, where follow-up with the manufacturer was
not possible, e.g. because of location outside the European Union, the food businesses
11
where the samples were purchased were contacted and they were asked to follow up
with their suppliers.
3.2
Study on Artificial Sweeteners
A total of 417 samples were collected at retail level by officers of the FSAI over the
period March 2005 to June 2006, for analysis of artificial sweeteners by either the
Dublin Public Analyst’s Laboratory (DPAL) or the Galway Public Analyst’s Laboratory
(GPAL). Samples were analysed for the following sweeteners:
•
•
•
•
Acesulfame K (E950)
Aspartame (E951)
Saccharin (E954)
Sucralose (E955)
The samples were mainly comprised of energy-reduced soft drinks, energy drinks,
yoghurts, jellies, confectionery, breakfast bars and some other processed foodstuffs. As
shown in the results reported in Table B of the Appendix to this report, the majority of
samples were analysed for Acesulfame K, Aspartame and Saccharin, while a smaller
number of samples were analysed for Sucralose alone by the DPAL (the accredited
laboratory for analysis of this sweetener).
Legal requirements
As indicated in the Introduction to this report, at the time of this survey the use of
artificial sweeteners in foodstuffs was regulated by Directive 94/35/EC (2) which
provides a list of authorised sweeteners, the foods in which they are permitted to be
used and the maximum levels permitted. In relation to the foodstuffs analysed in this
survey, the main provisions are shown in Table 5. It should be noted that Table 5 only
presents those categories of foodstuffs analysed in this survey, together with the
maximum levels of the sweeteners permitted. The Directive 94/35/EC (2) should be
consulted for other categories of foodstuffs and the general provisions related to use of
sweeteners in foodstuffs.

The polyol sweeteners, e.g. xylitol and sorbitol, the cyclamates, thaumatin and
neohesperidine DC, which are also permitted sweeteners in certain categories of
foodstuff under Directive 94/35/EC (2), were not analysed in this study.
13
A further legal requirement applicable to sweeteners used in foodstuffs, as for all food
additives, is that they must be declared in the list of ingredients in accordance with
Council Directive 2000/13/EC (9) relating to the labelling, presentation and advertising
of foodstuffs. The labelling must include the purpose of the additive as well as the name
of the additive and/or its assigned E number, e.g. Sweetener: Aspartame, E951. In
addition, products containing the sweetener aspartame must be labelled with the phrase
“contains a source of phenylalanine”, phenylalanine being one of the constituent amino
acids of aspartame.
The results of this study are reported below in relation to compliance with the maximum
levels of sweeteners permitted in the categories of foodstuffs surveyed, and also in
relation to compliance with the requirements for declaration of these ingredients on the
label.
Methodology and reporting limits
Sucralose (DPAL)
The determination of sucralose in food products is usually achieved by extraction of the
Sucralose into a polar solvent such as water or methanol, followed by High Performance
Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) analysis with refractive index detection. Solid food
products are usually ground or homogenised to facilitate extraction. Water based
products such as beverages can be analysed without an extraction step, but carbonated
products must be de-carbonated prior to analysis. Generally some form of sample clean
up is required prior to analysis to separate and remove potentially interfering
components and this is usually achieved using solid phase extraction.
Aspartame, Acesulfame-K and Saccharin in beverages
The filtered samples were analysed for Aspartame, Aciculae-K, and Saccharin by
Reverse-Phase High Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection.
Carbonated beverages were degassed by ultrasonication prior to analysis.
Aspartame, Acesulfame-K and Saccharin in solid foodstuffs
In the case of samples analysed by the DPAL, following homogenisation the samples
were extracted with water. The extracts were cleared using Carrez reagents and
analysed for Aspartame, Acesulfame-K, and Saccharin by reverse-phase high
performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection. As the maximum usable
doses of sweeteners indicated in the Annex to Directive 94/35/EC refer to ready-to-eat
foodstuffs, DPAL tested ready-to-eat foods as supplied and prepared all other foodstuffs
according to the instructions for use prior to analysis. Therefore, in all cases the results
were provided as mg/kg or mg/L of the ready-to-eat product.
In the case of samples analysed by the GPAL, following homogenisation two different
extraction procedures were used depending on the sample type. In the case of yoghurts
and sauces (the majority of samples) two clarification solutions were added to each
sample and filtered (using filter paper) prior to HPLC analysis with UV detection. For
the other sample types, e.g. yoghurt drinks, jams etc, after the addition of the
clarification solutions, they were centrifuged at 3900 rpm for 15 mins, diluted and filtered
(using filter paper) prior to HPLC analysis with UV detection.
14
Results for Saccharin were reported as the free imide. No recovery factors were applied
to any of the results for liquid samples (beverages), as statistically it was shown that this
was not necessary. Results obtained for artificial sweeteners in solids, e.g. yoghurts,
were however corrected for recovery. The limits of quantitation (LOQ) for the
sweeteners are presented in Table 6.

Results
The complete results of the survey of sweeteners in foodstuffs are provided in Table B
of the Appendix to this report. Out of the total of 417 foodstuffs examined in this study,
thirteen were non-compliant with the relevant legislation, representing 3.2% of the
samples taken. Six samples were judged to be non-compliant with the legislation on
maximum levels for sweeteners in foodstuffs, as shown in Table 7, four of these noncompliances relating to excessive levels of saccharin in samples of energy-reduced
jams and tomato ketchup. An energy-reduced soup was found to contain a level of 124
mg/L Acesulfame K, which is above the maximum permitted limit of 110 mg/L, while one
yoghurt product contained 1553 mg/kg aspartame, the permitted level being 1000
mg/kg. All other foodstuff/sweetener combinations analysed, including all those
containing Sucralose, were found to be in compliance with the legislation on maximum
levels.

Follow-up action
The samples in this study were taken as non-statutory surveillance samples, thus no
enforcement action was taken. Letters were however sent to the manufacturers of the
products, drawing their attention to the non-compliances and asking them to investigate
the reasons. In a limited number of cases, where follow-up with the manufacturer was
not possible, e.g. because of location outside the European Union, the food businesses
where the samples were purchased were contacted and they were asked to follow up
with their suppliers.

Discussion and Conclusions
This surveillance study on products containing artificial colours and sweeteners
available on the Irish market was undertaken in order to establish levels of compliance
with existing legislation.
The results obtained for artificial colours have shown a relatively high number of noncompliant products, with 31 out of the 363 foodstuffs examined in the study (8.5%)
being judged to be non-compliant with the legislation. Twelve of these samples related
to breaches of the legislation on maximum levels for colours in foodstuffs, the noncompliance relating to levels of Sunset Yellow or Azorubine/Carmoisine. A further
nineteen samples were found to contain artificial colours that were not declared in the
list of ingredients on the label, as required under the legislation on labelling (Directive
2000/13/EC).
The FSAI notes with concern that these non-compliant samples were predominantly
products consumed by young children, namely confectionery, flavoured ices and
dessert jelly. However, it was also noted, in relation to the twelve samples that breached
the legislation on maximum levels for colours in foodstuffs, that the colours found in
these non-compliant samples were Sunset Yellow or Azorubine/Carmoisine, for which
the levels may not exceed 50 mg/kg or 50 mg/L in particular foodstuffs, despite a higher
permitted overall level of, e.g. 200 mg/kg, for other colours in confectionery products.
The FSAI concludes that manufacturers may not be aware of the specific lower limits
that apply to certain colours such as Sunset Yellow or Azorubine in food.
The FSAI also stresses that this study was undertaken in 2005 – 2006, before the
publicity given to the possible effects of artificial colours on the behaviour of young
children, as reported by McCann et al [the so-called Southampton study (10)] and other
authors. The EFSA, in its assessment of the Southampton study, concluded that
although the Southampton study provided limited evidence that the two different
mixtures of synthetic colours and sodium benzoate tested had a small effect on activity
and attention in children, it was not possible to ascribe the observed effects to any of the
individual colours since mixtures and not individual additives were tested in the study.
EFSA concluded that in view of the considerable uncertainties on the scientific findings,
the study could not be used as a basis for altering the ADI of the respective food colours
(or sodium benzoate).
17
Manufacturers have however responded to the public concern about artificial colours by
phasing them out of particular foodstuffs, including their replacement with alternative
natural colours. The FSAI has recently undertaken a brief market survey of the same
products analysed in 2005-2006 and noted that many of the colours analysed at that
time are no longer being used. The FSAI concludes, therefore, that exposure of Irish
children to these artificial colours is decreasing. As indicated in the Introduction to this
report, the work reported has not included an assessment of the intakes of these food
additives from the diet, in order to compare these with the relevant ADIs. The data
generated on the artificial colours for this report have however been provided to the
EFSA for such considerations at a European level, as part of the ongoing re-evaluation
of all authorised food colours mentioned above.
The non-declaration of the presence, in nineteen samples, of artificial colours in the list
of ingredients is also a matter of concern to the FSAI, particularly as a number of these
colours are associated with hypersensitivity reactions. A particular requirement of the
new legislation on food additives referred to in footnote 1 (Regulation (EC) No
1333/2008) (7) is that special labelling provisions have been introduced for the six food
colours E110, E104, E122, E129, E102 and E124, requiring use of the phrase "may
have an adverse affect on activity and attention in children” on the label. This phrase
must be used in addition to the declaration of the additive in the list of ingredients on the
label. The FSAI will be undertaking further surveillance studies of this type and
appropriate follow up action to ensure that the legislation is being applied correctly.
At the time of the publication of the Southampton study suggesting a possible effect of
artificial colours on the behaviour of young children, and the EFSA review of this study,
the FSAI advised that parents of children in Ireland who could display symptoms of
hyperactivity or Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) should consider limiting
their children’s consumption of food products containing these food colours. The FSAI
also recommended at the time that parents read food labels when buying products so
that they can identify if they contain these food colours and thus, they can make an
informed purchasing decision. FSAI now strongly reiterates this advice, in the light of
the results of this surveillance study. FSAI wishes to remind manufacturers of their duty
to ensure that all food additives present in a product are labelled, in compliance with the
legal requirements and to ensure that consumers can make an informed choice if they
wish to avoid such additives.
The results obtained for artificial sweeteners showed proportionately a lower number of
non-compliant products, with thirteen out of the 417 foodstuffs examined in the study
(3.2%) being judged to be non-compliant with the legislation. These non-compliant
samples were almost equally divided between samples that contained in excess of the
permitted levels of sweetener (four out of six of such infringements relating to excessive
levels of saccharin in samples of energy-reduced jams and tomato ketchup), and non
compliance with the requirement to declare the name or E number of the sweetener in
the ingredients listed on the label.
The FSAI does not consider that any of the products deemed to be non-compliant with
the requirements of the legislation presented any risk to the health of consumers,
including young children. The FSAI notes with approval the increasing trend to reduce
18
the use of artificial colours in products, particularly those intended for young children.
However, the FSAI considers that further monitoring of artificial colours and sweeteners
in products on the Irish market, via studies such as the one reported here, is essential.
Such studies will enable the FSAI to undertake its own assessment of the exposure of
the Irish population including young children to these food additives. They will also
enable FSAI to feed into the ongoing activities at EU level, to monitor intakes and also
to feed into the ongoing safety assessments of food additives being undertaken by
EFSA.
In light of these results from this surveillance study, the FSAI reiterates its advice to
parents of children in Ireland who could display symptoms of hyperactivity or ADHD that
they should consider limiting their children’s consumption of food products containing
artificial food colours, and should read food labels carefully when buying products so
that they can identify if they contain these colours.
